Firefighting

Airwest Helicopters is highly experienced in air attack under contract with governmental agencies such as USFS and BLM in Arizona. Airwest pilots and staff perform duties such as long-line, fire suppression, and aerial ignition with ping-pong devices and heli-torch.

Their fleet of helicopters consists of Bell 206BIII Jetrangers, Bell 206L4 Longrangers, and a Bell UH-1H Huey for water bucket and long-line missions. Airwest is accustomed to serving an agency for extended periods of time on initial attack contracts or on a “call when needed” sortie. Airwest is the best at what they do and pride themselves as being team players.
